Why Choose the Ilme CSAHF16 SQUICH® Female Insert?

The Ilme CSAHF16 is a 16-pole + PE female connector insert featuring Ilme SQUICH® spring terminal technology with integrated actuator buttons. Designed for industrial multipole connector systems, it provides rapid conductor termination without the repetitive screw tightening required by conventional screw-terminal inserts, making it particularly suitable for machinery, automation and control applications.

The SQUICH® connection system uses spring terminals that are operated by individual actuator buttons. Once a correctly stripped conductor has been inserted into the terminal, the actuator is pressed to establish the electrical connection. This provides a fast, secure and vibration-resistant termination method while simplifying assembly and subsequent maintenance of industrial connector systems.

With 16 female poles plus protective earth (PE), a rated current of 16 A and conductor capacity from 0.14–2.5 mm², the CSAHF16 provides a versatile interface for power, control and auxiliary circuits. Its self-extinguishing thermoplastic insulation and silver-plated contacts support dependable service in demanding industrial environments.

Key Advantages

  • 16 poles + PE for high-density industrial multipole connections.
  • 16 A rated current suitable for power and control circuits.
  • SQUICH® spring terminals with actuator buttons simplify conductor termination.
  • No dedicated contact crimping tool is required for terminal wiring.
  • Accepts conductors from 0.14–2.5 mm².
  • Spring-terminal technology provides a secure connection suitable for industrial vibration environments.
  • Silver-plated contacts support reliable electrical performance.

Key Features

  • Ilme CSAH SQUICH® series.
  • Female multipole connector insert.
  • 16 poles + protective earth (PE).
  • 16 A rated current.
  • SQUICH® spring terminal connection.
  • Individual push-in actuator buttons for conductor termination.
  • Conductor capacity of 0.14–2.5 mm².
  • Silver-plated electrical contacts.
  • Self-extinguishing thermoplastic insulating construction.
  • Designed for compatible Ilme heavy-duty industrial connector enclosures.

Fast SQUICH® Spring Connection for Industrial Wiring

Ilme SQUICH® technology is designed to reduce the time required to wire multipole industrial connectors. Instead of tightening individual terminal screws, the installer inserts the prepared conductor into the appropriate terminal and operates the integrated actuator, allowing the spring mechanism to establish and maintain the electrical connection.

For machine builders and automation engineers, this approach can simplify both initial assembly and later servicing. The CSAHF16 combines the SQUICH® termination system with 16 female contacts plus PE, providing a compact multipole interface for connecting power, control and signalling circuits between machinery modules and electrical equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery and machine tools.
  • Factory automation and production equipment.
  • Packaging and materials-handling systems.
  • Electrical control and distribution equipment.
  • Motor, actuator and auxiliary circuit connections.
  • OEM machinery and modular production systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Ilme CSAHF16?

The Ilme CSAHF16 is a 16-pole + PE female industrial connector insert featuring SQUICH® spring terminals with integrated actuator buttons for rapid conductor termination.

How many poles does the CSAHF16 provide?

The CSAHF16 provides 16 female poles plus a protective earth (PE) connection.

What is the rated current of the Ilme CSAHF16?

The CSAHF16 has a rated current of 16 A, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial power and control connections.

What conductor sizes can be connected to the CSAHF16?

The SQUICH® spring terminals accept conductor cross-sections from 0.14–2.5 mm², corresponding to approximately AWG 26–14.

Does the CSAHF16 require a crimping tool?

No. The CSAHF16 uses SQUICH® spring terminals with actuator buttons, so conductors are terminated directly in the insert rather than by crimping separate contacts onto each conductor.
